Suspension assembly having detent nut adjustment

An automotive suspension assembly comprising:

• an elongated central suspension element including couplers adjacent the opposed ends thereof for coupling of the element between a pair of automotive structural members;
• an elongated coil spring disposed about and extending along the length of said suspension element;
• and
• an adjustment assembly including a rotatable and axially shiftable body bearing against one end of said spring, and a detent device operatively coupled with said body for permitting rotation of the body through a predetermined arc with seating of the detent device after each such rotation of the body through said predetermined arc,
• said adjustment body comprising an annular bearing plate with a nut portion presenting wrench flats.
